CIVIL ACTION NO. 17-0214-CG-N

ORDER
After due and proper consideration of the issues raised, and there having
been no objections filed, the Report and Recommendations of the Magistrate Judge
made under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B)-(C), Rule 8(b) of the Rules Governing § 2254
Cases in the United States District Courts, and S.D. Ala. GenLR 72(a)(2)(R), and
dated September 14, 2017, is ADOPTED as the opinion of this Court.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Petitioner Michael Rodriquez Garcia’s
operative petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Doc. 6) is
DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to exhaust state court remedies, and
that Garcia is not entitled to a Certificate of Appealability pursuant to this final
adverse order. The Court also certifies that any appeal by Garcia of the dismissal of
the present habeas petition would be without merit and therefore not taken in good
faith. Thus, Garcia is not entitled to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal.

Final judgment shall issue separately in accordance with this order and
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 58.
DONE and ORDERED this 6th day of October, 2017.

/s/ Callie V. S. Granade
SENIOR UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
